Chapter 19: Fever is from the heat of the Hell-Fire so cool it down with water - كتاب الطب
It was
narrated that Rafi’ bin Khadij said:
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُصْعَبُ بْنُ الْمِقْدَامِ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَبَايَةَ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ، عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَقُولُ " الْحُمَّى مِنْ فَيْحِ جَهَنَّمَ فَابْرُدُوهَا بِالْمَاءِ " . فَدَخَلَ عَلَى ابْنٍ لِعَمَّارٍ فَقَالَ " اكْشِفِ الْبَاسْ رَبَّ النَّاسْ إِلَهَ النَّاسْ " .
“I heard the Prophet
(ﷺ)
say: ‘Fever is from the heat of the Hell-fire, so cool it down
with
water.’ He entered upon a son of ‘Ammar and said: ‘Take away
the
harm, O Lord of mankind, O God of mankind.’”
Chapter 19: Fever is from the heat of the Hell-Fire so cool it down with water - كتاب الطب
It was
narrated from Asma’ bint Abu Bakr that a woman suffering from
fever
would be brought to her, and she would call for water and pour
it
onto the neck of her garment. She said:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ الْمُنْذِرِ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تُؤْتَى بِالْمَرْأَةِ الْمَوْعُوكَةِ فَتَدْعُو بِالْمَاءِ فَتَصُبُّهُ فِي جَيْبِهَا وَتَقُولُ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ " ابْرُدُوهَا بِالْمَاءِ " . وَقَالَ " إِنَّهَا مِنْ فَيْحِ جَهَنَّمَ " .
The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“Cool
it down with water,” and he said: “It is from the heat of
Hell-fire.”
It was
narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ
" مَا مَرَرْتُ لَيْلَةَ أُسْرِيَ بِي بِمَلإٍ مِنَ الْمَلاَئِكَةِ إِلاَّ كُلُّهُمْ يَقُولُ لِي عَلَيْكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ بِالْحِجَامَةِ " .
“On the night on which I was taken on the Night Journey (Isra’),
I did not pass by any group of angels but all of them said to me: ‘O
Muhammad, you should use cupping.’”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بِشْرٍ، بَكْرُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ
" نِعْمَ الْعَبْدُ الْحَجَّامُ يَذْهَبُ بِالدَّمِ وَيُخِفُّ الصُّلْبَ وَيَجْلُو الْبَصَرَ " .
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said: ‘What a good slave is the cupper. He takes away the blood,
reduces pressure on the spine, and improves the eyesight.’”
حَدَّثَنَا جُبَارَةُ بْنُ الْمُغَلِّسِ، حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ، سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ
" مَا مَرَرْتُ لَيْلَةَ أُسْرِيَ بِي بِمَلإٍ إِلاَّ قَالُوا يَا مُحَمَّدُ مُرْ أُمَّتَكَ بِالْحِجَامَةِ " .
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘On the
night on
which I was taken on the Night Journey (Isra’), I did not
pass by
any group (of angels) but they said to me: “O Muhammad, tell
your
nation to use cupping.”
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ، أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، أَنَّ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ، زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ اسْتَأْذَنَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فِي الْحِجَامَةِ فَأَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَبَا طَيْبَةَ أَنْ يَحْجُمَهَا . وَقَالَ حَسِبْتُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ أَخَاهَا مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ أَوْ غُلاَمًا لَمْ يَحْتَلِمْ .
It was
narrated from Jabir that Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet
(ﷺ),
asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) for permission to be cupped,
and
the Prophet (ﷺ) told Abu Taibah to cup her.
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي الْخَصِيبِ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ حَازِمٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ احْتَجَمَ فِي الأَخْدَعَيْنِ وَعَلَى الْكَاهِلِ .
It was
narrated from Anas that the Prophet (ﷺ) was cupped in the
two veins
at theside of the neck and the base of the neck.
It was
narrated from Jabir that the Prophet (ﷺ) fell from his horse onto
the truck of a palm tree and dislocated his foot.
(One of the narrators) Waki’ said:
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَرِيفٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ سَقَطَ مِنْ فَرَسِهِ عَلَى جِذْعٍ فَانْفَكَّتْ قَدَمُهُ . قَالَ وَكِيعٌ يَعْنِي أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ احْتَجَمَ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ وَثْءٍ .
“Meaning that the Prophet (ﷺ) was cupped because of that for bruising.”
Chapter 22: On which days should cupping be done - كتاب الطب
It was
narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مَطَرٍ، عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، عَنِ النَّهَّاسِ بْنِ قَهْمٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ
" مَنْ أَرَادَ الْحِجَامَةَ فَلْيَتَحَرَّ سَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ أَوْ تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ أَوْ إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ وَلاَ يَتَبَيَّغْ بِأَحَدِكُمُ الدَّمُ فَيَقْتُلَهُ " .
“Whoever wants to be cupped, let him seek out the seventeenth,
nineteenth or twenty-first (of the month); and let none of you allow
his blood to rage so that it kills him.”
“O Nafi’! The blood is boiling
in
me, find me a cupper, but let it be someone gentle if you can, not
an
old man or a young boy. For I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
say:
‘Cupping on an empty stomach is better, and in it there is
healing
and blessing, and it increases one’s intellect and memory. So
have
yourselves cupped for the blessing of Allah on Thursdays, and
avoid
cupping on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Have
yourselves cupped on Mondays and Tuesdays, for that is the day on
which Allah relieved Ayyub of Calamity, and He inflicted calamity
upon
him on a Wednesday, and leprosy and leucoderma only appear on
Wednesdays, or on the night of Wednesday.”
“Ibn ‘Umar said: ‘O Nafi’! The
blood
is boiling in me. Bring me a cupper and let him be a young man,
not an
old man or a boy.’ Ibn ‘Umar said: ‘I heard the
Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) say: “Cupping on an empty stomach is
better, and it increases
one’s intellect and memory. And it
increases the memory of one who has
a good memory so whoever wants to
be cupped, (let him do it) on a
Thursday, in the Name of Allah. Avoid
cupping on Fridays, Saturdays
and Sundays. Have yourselves cupped on
Mondays and Tuesdays, and avoid
cupping on Wednesdays, for that is
the day on which the calamity
befell Ayyub, and leprosy and
leucoderma only appear on Wednesday or
the night of Wednesday.”
“Healing is in three things: A
drink of honey, the glass of the cupper, and cauterizing with fire,
but I forbid my nation to use cauterization.” And he attributed it
to
the Prophet (ﷺ).
Muhammad
bin ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Sa’d bin Zurarah Al-Ansari said:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، غُنْدَرٌ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الدَّارِمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ الأَنْصَارِيُّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَمِّي، يَحْيَى - وَمَا أَدْرَكْتُ رَجُلاً مِنَّا بِهِ شَبِيهًا يُحَدِّثُ النَّاسَ أَنَّ سَعْدَ بْنَ زُرَارَةَ - وَهُوَ جَدُّ مُحَمَّدٍ مِنْ قِبَلِ أُمِّهِ أَنَّهُ أَخَذَهُ وَجَعٌ فِي حَلْقِهِ يُقَالُ لَهُ الذُّبْحَةُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " لأُبْلِغَنَّ أَوْ لأُبْلِيَنَّ فِي أَبِي أُمَامَةَ عُذْرًا " . فَكَوَاهُ بِيَدِهِ فَمَاتَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " مِيتَةَ سُوءٍ لِلْيَهُودِ يَقُولُونَ أَفَلاَ دَفَعَ عَنْ صَاحِبِهِ . وَمَا أَمْلِكُ لَهُ وَلاَ لِنَفْسِي شَيْئًا " .
“I
heard
my paternal uncle Yahya – and I have not seen a man among us
like
him – tell the people that Sa'd bin Zurarah, who was the
grandfather of Muhammad through his mother, was suffering from pain
in
his throat, known as croup. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘I shall do
my
best for Abu Umamah.’ Such that I will be excused (i.e., free of
blame
if he is not healed). And he cauterized him with his own hand,
but he
died. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘May the Jews be doomed! They
will say:
“Why could he not avert death from his Companions?” But
I have no
power to do anything for him or for my own self.’”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحِيمِ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَقُولُ
" عَلَيْكُمْ بِالإِثْمِدِ عِنْدَ النَّوْمِ فَإِنَّهُ يَجْلُو الْبَصَرَ وَيُنْبِتُ الشَّعَرَ " .
“I heard the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ)
say: ‘You should use antimony when you go to sleep, for it
improves
the eyesight and makes the hair (eyelashes) grow.’”
